Here is an easy Halloween cupcake idea that makes frightfully good Halloween cupcakes. I hope you will find these candy witch finger cupcakes supper silly and not too gross. If you prefer gross Halloween treats just add a little red piping gel for a bloody touch!
How to make easy Halloween Cupcakes
These cupcakes are super simple to make. You will need black jelly beans a bit of frosting and a bag of marshmallow circus peanuts (I found these at Wal-mart).
Cut the jelly bean, not quite in half.
Attach the jelly bean to the circus peanut with a dab of frosting and you have a candy witch finger.
Bake up or buy some yummy cupcakes and put your witch fingers on top. These cute chevron cupcake papers are from Sweet!
If you are looking for more cupcake ideas, these Halloween cupcakes are great!
You might like these Halloween treats too! Pumpkin lollipops and ghost suckers make great Halloween party favors.
We made the Witches fingers Red Velvet Cupcakes with Green Cream Cheese Frosting posted on my WordPress blog here: http://somesmartcookle.wordpress.com/2014/10/04/mission-trip-to-eastern-washington/
whats the purpose in making the cut in the jelly bean?
Did you try cutting the jelly beans in half?
I do love me some circus peanuts! Super cute!
So fun Cindy!
Thanks for linking up! I featured your post in my wrap up http://tidymom.net/2012/halloween-projects/
Have a great rest of the weekend!
These are so clever! I love the ease of them. Who would have thought!!?! Love them 😉
I think Circus Peanuts are pretty disgusting, but I might be able to look past it for these. Really cute! I’ve made witch’s finger cookies before, I could just pop those on top of a cupcake too – if I’m feeling especially productive.
Such a cute idea and so easy!
I just love getting your daily emailed blog post and when I saw these cupcakes I just knew I had to try them out!!
